I would say Baldomir but he has a great chin so that doesn't make him ordinary. Plus he was Welterweight Champion for a short time so that kind of disqualifies him. He was boring to watch and every fight showed the same things, had average power, average speed, average skills.
How can an unbeaten world champion, who defended his title multiple times be mediocre? I saw most of his fights, and he should have 4 or 5 L´s in his record, but although, he won some fights fair against decent opposition, so your comment is ridiculous...
I know... Not only by him, like I wrote, Brewer beat him, Larsen, Mitchell, etc., but that doesn´t change the fact, that he was a world class fighter, who beat some decent opponents...
I think some people are failing to understand what this thread is about. It isn't about who bores you, or who is a mediocre champion, it is about who is a mediocre fighter. Someone who has nothing distinguishing about him. This automatically eliminates Winky Wright and Cory Spinks from the list. Both were champions who have good victories.
To put it in simpler terms: imagine a line with Eric Crumble on one end and Sugar Ray Robinson on the other. Who falls smack dab in the middle? :happy
I'm not much chop but if you're ever passing thru town feel free to drop in and don the 10 ouncers fore the title of most mediocre ever
Rooster would never do it John. You're dictating the terms by asking for it in your home town and picking the size of the gloves. You're just like your hero Leonard who only fought on his terms as well.
